Application filed March 22, 1909. Serial No. 484,987.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM l-lnrskovrrz, a citizen of the United States, residing in Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mantle-Holders, of which the following is a full and correct specification, reference being had to the hereto accompanying drawing, forming a part hereof, and in which- Figure 1 shows my said device in perspective, with a mantle attached. Figs. 2 and 3 show screw-threaded ends of gas-burner tips in two different positions. Figs. l and 5 ,show ends of gas-burner tips provided with on the market.

a rim and notch near their ends in dili'ercnt positions. Fig. 6 shows anther form of burner-tip end provided witha hook on-one side and a flange extending about half way around on the other side. Fig. 7 shows another burner-tip-en'd provided at its end with a low flange having a notch through it. Fig. 8 shows a flanged disk having bayonet catches in its flange, and a central hole in the disk. Fig. 9 shows a burner-tip with a right-angled projection near its end. Each of said seven burner-tip ends I), b, b I2 I), b, I), show difl'erent forms of construction for attaching a mantle-holder. I

[like reference characters denote like parts throughout.

The object of my invention is to provide a device for holding a mantle on an inverted burner-tip which will attach to any of the burner-tip ends shown in the drawings, and,

in fact, any other known form oi burner-tip I produce my said new device by constructing a ring a which is cylindrical in form and provide an *int'erior bead Z) to said cylinder near itslowcr end and on its upper end are erected three equidistant studs 0 which form integral parts of said cylinder and having outwardly pointing flanges 1, 2, 3, at their ends. Midway between said set of studs are a like set of studs Z bu whereof only two of them are provided with flanges 4: and 5 respectively, which point inward, or toward the axis of the mantle and burner instead of from said axis as is the case with said flanges l, 2, .3, and the last one of said three studs is flangeless anderect and has a threaded hole which is provided with a long and rather slender screw 6 held in the same plane assaid flanges l and 5, and the said flanges l, 2, 8, are, together, placed in a some what higher plane.

The mantle f is attached to said cylinder with a draw-string 9 passed through the. meshes of the mantle which sinks into the groove formed on the exterior of said cylinder through the forming of said internal head 6 whereby the mantle is held from slipping from the said cylinder.

iVhen a holder, as for instance like the one shown in Fig. 8, is attached to a tip the flanges-1, 2, 3, enter into the catches h and thereby the mantle-holder is heldto its place. But if a burner-tip is small enough at its end to pass within the ends of the flanges i and 5 and the screw 6 the hooks or flanges l, 5, will press with their inner ends. or edges against the burner-tip and then the point of the screw (2 is driven against the side of the tip until the mantle-holder is securely held to the end of the. burner-tip. By means of my saidconstruction the axis or the mantle is brought in line wit-h the axis of the burner and thus I am enabled to secure any form of mantle-holder to its burncr-tip in a very secure and economical 'way, whatever the form of the burner-tip may be, and thereby the user secures economical advantages not otherwise attained and the manufacturer furnishes the consumer with a mantle-holder adaptable to every known form of burner. Another advantage gained by means of my said mantle-holder construction is that when the inner edges of the flanges 4c and 5, and the' point of thgi screw e are all set against the burner-tip, as b, the mantle-holder will be held so firmly to place thatit will not come loose under any amount of Vibration, as for instance the ordeal it has to go through on a railroad train. ll said parts 0 and it and 5, be properly placed, their central lines, when extended, as shown in broken lines in Fig. 1, will intersect at the axis of the cylincoustruction will bring the axes cf the burner-tip and ot' the cylinder into coincidcnce when of suitable radial dimensions Said flanges and screw are substantial y 151 the same horizontal plane IVhat I claim is:

'1. A tubular externally circumferentially grooved cylinder provided at its upper ed a with two sets of studs whereof one set en s in flanges pointin from its axis and two of the other set 0 studs end in flanges and a flangeless stud provided with a screw set in the same plane as said two flanges, said g der and also 0 i the burner-tip, because this i latter three elements pointing toward the are provided with flanges and a third stud axis of the cylinder. provided with a screw, all pointing toward 10 2. A cylindrical mantle-holder provided the axis of the cylinder. with an external circumferential groove near ABRAHAM HERSKOVITZ 5 the lower end of its outer surface, and a set of studs at its upper end provided with WVitnesses:
